1. LSU lands commitment from 4-star LB and in-state prospect

LSU’s rise in the AP Poll has certainly paid dividends on the recruiting trail.

The 6-foot-2, 218-pound product from John Ehret High School has long been considered a strong lean to the Tigers. Last month, Divinity told the AJC’s SEC Country that the program’s proximity to home and 3-4 defensive scheme were favorable. He has also developed a strong relationship with running back Leonard Fournette, whom Divinity acknowledged has been a mentor to him on recent recruiting visits.

Divinity spurned Texas A&M, Florida State, Oregon and Ole Miss. He is rated as the No. 5 overall player in Louisiana.

2. 4-star QB Jake Fromm spurns Ole Miss, South Carolina for Alabama

Alabama landed its first quarterback commitment in 2017 over the weekend. Jake Fromm, a 4-star from Houston County High School (Ga.), took an unofficial visit to Alabama on Saturday, when he broke the news to coach Nick Saban.

Fromm caught up with the AJC’s SEC Country on Sunday to explain how the decision came to fruition, and it’s certainly one you should read.
